And so his parents were angry at him.
Um, you know, why aren't you doing your homework?
Why are you wasting your time with this nonsense?
Um, are you kidding me?
You know, like you know, you you tell us you want to go to college, you're doing nothing to support that idea, and so there's a lot of judgment that came in.
In fairness, if you think about it, that all feels really, really reasonable for.
From a parent's point of view.
Um and I don't know if it's reasonable to say extract all that judgment.
But I think it's important to recognize our children aren't just trying to test our acumen as parents.
And sometimes I work with parents where they really feel like that's what's at play here.
More they engage in things.
because those things support their well being or their self esteem and they might not have other areas of their life in which that happens.

that pot smoking, dueling vaping crowd was really, really welcoming to him and he was struggling to connect socially with anybody else.
He had tried out for a team that he did not make and he thought that was gonna be his saving grace and and his social life and it turned out not to be.
And that that group was super welcoming to him that was just hanging around in the basements.
And this making music was kind of a um a replacement for him for the athletics.
And it he he didn't
It wasn't a full replacement, but he felt decent about himself, knowing, oh I can create something from scratch.
It might not be great, but I like the idea of that.
